Where We Stand Harvard currently sits in second place of the Ivy League standings with a 12-7 overall record and 7-3 conference mark. Yale is atop the standings with a 9-1 conference record following last week's loss to the Crimson, and is 14-3 overall. Penn (12-9, 6-4 Ivy League) is in third place while Brown (9-12, 5-5 Ivy League) rounds out the top four.

Thank You, Senior! On Saturday, Harvard will honor the playing careers of seniors Erin Cooney, Natalie Doyle and Teresa Skelly. This year's graduating class has helped the Crimson to an 8-1 record at the Malkin Athletic Center this year, the best home record in program history, and owns a 26-15 record at home over the course of their careers. These three have also led this year's Harvard team to a 7-3 Ancient Eight record, securing the program's best conference record since winning the Ivy League in 2004.

Home Court Advantage With a sweep of Brown and Yale, Harvard improved to 8-1 in the friendly confines of the Malkin Athletic Center. This marks the team's best home record since 2004, when the squad won six straight to begin the year en route to a 7-1 record at the MAC.

The Crimson women have posted a 21-10 record at home over the past three years while the men's team has gone 25-7.

Set The Standard The Crimson owns a 7-3 record against the Ivy League this season, and with one more victory can secure the program's best record in conference since the 2004 squad won the Ivy League title with a 10-4 mark. Harvard also went 10-4 against the Ancient Eight in 2002, marking the only two times that the Crimson has posted double-digit conference win totals.

Tripling Up Freshman Corinne Bain has recorded four triple-doubles on the year, which also stand as the only three triple-doubles in program history. Most recently she posted 10 kills, 39 assists and 14 digs against Princeton as the Crimson ended the Tigers' 23-match Ivy League win streak.

Bain leads all freshmen in the NCAA with her four triple-doubles while her 11 double-doubles are tied for third most in the nation.

Serving Up Aces Freshman Corinne Bain has recorded 43 aces on the year, eclipsing Lolita Lopez's '98 previous school record of 41. Bain currently ranks sixth in the NCAA with 0.56 aces per set while the Crimson ranks 37th (1.52) as a team.

Harvard scored 13 aces in a straight set victory over UMass Lowell, marking the most aces for a Crimson squad since 2003, the last year for which match-by-match statistics are available. Bain single-handedly tallied seven aces in the victory, again the most for the Crimson since 2003.

High Percentage Kathleen Wallace hit a career-high .778 in the team's 3-1 victory at Boston College, registering 15 kills on 18 attempts with just one error. Wallace's 15 kills were one short of her previous career-high of 16, set last season against Middle Tennessee State, while her hitting percentage topped her previous best of .667 set last year against Providence (12-0-18).

Caroline Walters ranks fifth in the Ivy League with a .314 hitting percentage while Caroline Holte is ninth with a .297 mark. As a team, the Crimson ranks second in the conference with a .217 percentage and has hit over .300 in a match four times this season.

Protecting the Net Harvard dominated the net in its first two matches of the season, posting 17 total blocks against both Holy Cross and Hofstra. The Crimson has turned in double-digit blocking totals seven times this year after having done so nine times last season.

Caroline Holte posted a career-high 12 blocks in the team's 3-1 win over Hofstra, marking the most blocks in a match for Harvard since Sandra Lynne Fryhofer '12 totaled 13 at Georgia State on Sept. 3, 2011.

Holte ranks fourth in the conference with 0.99 bps while Caroline Walters is eighth with 0.95 bps. Harvard has combined for 2.09 bps as a team, the third-best average among the Ivies, while the Crimson's .183 opponent hitting percentage ranks second in the league.
